We Were Kings

De: Court Stevens

Narrado por: McKenzie Fetters

A 20-year-old crime, an accelerated death penalty, and an elitist family cover-up: Nyla races against the death row clock to save a woman the world is rooting for...and against. Which side will you choose?

Twenty years ago, 18-year-old Francis Quick was convicted of murdering her best friend, Cora King, and sentenced to death. Now the highly debated Accelerated Death Penalty Act has passed, giving Frankie 30 final days to live. Surprising everyone, one of the King family members sets out to challenge the woefully inadequate evidence and potential innocence of Frankie Quick.

The at-first reluctant but soon-fiery Nyla and her unexpected ally - handsome country island boy Sam Stack - bring Frankie’s case to the international stage through her YouTube channel, Death Daze. They step into fame and a hometown battle that someone’s still willing to kill over. But who? The senator? The philanthropist? The pawn shop owner? Nyla’s own mother?

Best advice: Don’t go to family dinner at the Kings’ estate. More people will leave in body bags than on their own two feet. And as for Frankie Quick, she’s a gem...even if she’s guilty.

Praise for We Were Kings:

“We Were Kings is the best kind of mystery novel — intelligent and bursting with heart. As Nyla untangled her family’s secrets, the twists left me breathless.” (Brittany Cavallaro, New York Times best-selling author)

“Bingeable. Atmospheric. A book that grabs hold and doesn’t let go. We Were Kings offers a delicious mystery perfect for fans of We Were Liars and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. I savored every word from beginning to end.” (Caroline George, author of The Summer We Forgot)

• Young Adult suspense with some romance

WOW. GET READY TO BE HOOKED.

Not only did this book not disappoint, it kept me engaged the entire time. Full of twists and turns from beginning to end, I’m sad it ended! Way to go, Court Stevens! Can’t wait to read anything you write.

Amazing!

This is an amazing book! It keeps you engaged and it doesn’t turn out how you think. So good!

Uhmazing!

this book is a brilliant and amazing read. i would definitely recommend it to all of my friends and family.

Not an easy solve

I usually guess who the perpetrators are, but didn’t see this one until the end.

Surprising listen!

This was my first book by Court Stevens. Very surprising twists and turns. Such a good book!

Great book!

This was a great book! Twists and turns all throughout ! The narrator was a little hard to get used to at the beginning. But once the book was rolling I didn’t notice anymore. Great book definitely recommend!

Fun story however far fetched

Although it's not a light topic, the story is fun to follow albeit a bit far fetched about small town USA and powerful families. Narration is ok although I wish she would learn the proper way to enunciate "penitentiary". It's not a 7 syllable word for goodness sake.

Kept my interest

Several twists. Kept my interest until the very end. The narrator did a good job.

Good story, awful narrator

The adventurous who done it plot was good. Unfortunately, the narrator detracted from the story. I found myself losing interest due to the drowning on of the narrators voice. Recommend reading the book instead of the audiobook.

Fantastic!

Loved the story and the narrator was amazing as well! Would recommend to anyone for sure!
